He is the one who watches you all
He's there when you soar, he sees when you fall
Believe me he knows what you're all going through
You're not alone; he went through it too.

He was born just like you were, was very alive
He tried to lead you 'til the day he died
But some would not listen, they just turned away
And I still remember what happened that day...

My friends gathered close to see the event
That ended the earth-life of one who was sent
From high above, past the stars and the sky
For it was determined he was to die.

They drove the spikes through his feet and each hand
And we watched it grow dark throughout all the land
As the whole living earth knew what was to come
And clouds gathered near to block the sun.

They hoisted him up on a death-marked hill
We wanted to help him but we remained still
For we were supposed to stay out of sight
Even if He were to die that night.

It's said that we're evil, forsaken by God
But that is not true, we are not outlawed
We are His creatures like everyone else
Few of you know how much pain we have felt
From this misunderstanding that some have told
Parting us from humans since days of old.

As we watched in sorrow so deep
We saw the Savior put to forever sleep
By those who conspired to finish him off
Those who had mocked him; those who had scoffed
As he traveled from village to city and town
Helping and healing all those around.
For some of them knew this man did no harm--
But what he did do was cause some alarm.

Ever since he was born he was sought out to die
It doesn't make sense, we do not know why.
And now that they got him in their hands at last
To end him amid the crowds amassed.

And so he did rise three days after this!
My friends just found out, the event they had missed
But His resurrection one dragon did see,
And that one dragon happened to be me.

I love reading what you've posted.. It's all been so wonderful.. And you've added another poem to your growing list of literary accomplishments..

 MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU,
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND

Great poem Dragon.

I thought I saw the master
I saw him bow his head
And when the day was over
This is what he said
'Hey driver!next stop heaven my work is done'

Jump in the Taxi!!

Excellent stuff.
